Joe Sherburne scored 20 points and UMBC beat Vermont 74-61 in their first matchup since the American East Conference tournament championship last season but it was the Catamounts that made history Wednesday night.

UMBC and coach Ryan Odom have agreed in principle to an amended contract after the program made history by becoming the first 16th-seeded men's basketball team to beat a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.

Nobody knew UMBC before the Retrievers pulled off college basketball's biggest upset. But suddenly stars and celebs were talking about them and fans were waiting until all hours to congratulate them. Inside the 72 hours that changed their lives.

The magical ride of the UMBC men's basketball team ended Sunday night when the Retrievers suffered a 50-43 loss to Kansas State in the second round of the NCAA tournament.

Kansas State pulls away at the end 50-43. UMBC left it all in the court.
My new favorite small guard is KJ Maura. A dynamic player who impacts the game with his skill and passion. Many could take a lesson. Heart over size.

If you told HC Ryan Odom his UNBC team would beat Virginia and be in this position in the second game he would take it. 3 minutes left in Charlotte

Among the raucous UMBC fans sits decidedly non-raucous former Wake Forest head coach Dave Odom, watching son Ryan lead the Retrievers. Son credits his father for not hiring him as assistant, forcing him to forge his own path.
